!! This game provides examples of:

* {{Animesque}}: The game's visual style has this style to it.
* BossInMookClothing: Half-way through the dungeon area, just before the cave worm room, the player will encounter a winged reaper-type enemy surrounded by rotating blue flames, a la [[{{Videogame/Megaman2}} Leaf Shield]]. Not only does it have a LOT of health for your average enemy, but it can't even be damaged until all the fire is taken out. The problem? The flames regenerate. Combine this with it advancing at you while simultaneously shooting at you, and you're gonna have a bad time.

* CuteWitch: The titular character Belle [=MacFae=]. Her homeroom teacher Sky Willow may also fit this trope, and perhaps [[HotWitch another one]].

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Some of the bosses can be this, especially when comparing them to Belle's size.[[spoiler:The final fight with the [[EldritchAbomination Old God]] fits this trope to a T, as you get to ''literally'' punch Cthulhu in the face with a [[HumongousMecha giant robot]], as said in the store description: "Punch Cthulhu in the face."]]

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Near the end of the game, with the [[spoiler:Giant Spider]]. It has effectively no relevance to the overall story, and the room it's fought in does little to foreshadow its appearance.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Played on consoles or with the alternative script will replace the language and some of the harsher dialogue.

* MagicWand: The weapon for Belle and potentially many other students.

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: [[spoiler:The final battle will end with Belle yelling, SCIENCE - bitch!]]

* WizardingSchool: Is set in a school for witches called Hagmore School of Magic.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Some of the bosses can be this, especially when comparing them to Belle's size.[[spoiler: The final fight with the [[EldritchAbomination Old God]] fits this trope to a T, as you get to ''literally'' punch Cthulhu in the face with a [[HumongousMecha giant robot]], as said in the store description: "Punch Cthulhu in the face."]]

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Near the end of the game, with the [[spoiler: Giant Spider]]. It has effectively no relevance to the overall story, and the room it's fought in does little to foreshadow its appearance.

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: [[spoiler: The final battle will end with Belle yelling, SCIENCE - bitch!]]

''Belle:''' (console/alt) My mother would disown me.

-->''Belle: (original) My mother would likely murder me.''\\
''Belle: (console/alt) My mother would disown me.''

* MagicWand: The WeaponOfChoice for Belle, and potentially many other students.

--> '''???:''' ''Ha-ha-ha-ha!''
--> '''Belle:''' ''Hilarious,'' I know! Who's there, with such impeccable timing and comedic sense of humor?

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Some of the bosses can be this, especially when comparing them to Belle's size.[[spoiler: The final fight with the [[EldritchAbomination Old God]] fits this trope to a T, as you get to ''literally'' punch Cthulhu in the face with a [[HumongousMecha giant robot]].]]

* {{Metroidvania}}

--> ''Belle: (original) My mother would likely murder me.''
-->''Belle: (console/alt) My mother would disown me.''

* UnwinnableByMistake: At one point, it was possible for the game to decide that you wanted to dash and drop an item at the same time, causing you to first dash and then drop it even if you were in the air or, say, over a pit of instant death from which you have no way of picking the item. Fortunately, the developer's foresight makes it easily fixable via save game manipulation.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The numerous commentaries on Ms. Willow's Friday night activities make it clear that she likes to party in a not-when-children-might-be-watching sort of way.

* {{Chiptune}}: The soundtrack evokes the NES era.

'''This game provides examples of:'''

* WickedWitch: Due to the population of the academy being mainly comprised of witches and other magic users, there's bound to be some of these. None seem to fit better than Madame Hagmore, the head honcho of the school.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The game's script contains a fair share of swearwords. An alternative script that replaces them with other words can be accessed in the options menu.

* VideoGameCaringPotential: After the wooden box has fulfilled its purpose, it's possible to bring it back to the Hermit Lizard you took it from. Belle even comments she almost felt bad for the little guy.
** Of course, you can always do the opposite and [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential not bring it back]].
